Jeremiah 37:20-21
1599 Geneva Bible
20 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the King: let my prayer be [a]acceptable before thee, that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jehonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
21 Then Zedekiah the King commanded, that they should put Jeremiah in the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the baker’s street until all the [b]bread in the city were eaten up. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
